Kedah is taking a decisive stance against social issues by announcing the cessation of renewing business licenses for all 4D lottery shops within the state. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Nor expressed concerns over the adverse social impact of gambling and its consequences on families and society.

Furthermore, the state plans to restrict the sale of alcohol in rural areas of Kedah due to low demand. Residents seeking to purchase 4D lottery numbers have been directed to neighboring Penang.

Sanusi clarified that these measures would not affect non-Muslim consumers and are aimed at maintaining a sober state of mind. The move underscores the government’s commitment to addressing societal concerns and safeguarding the well-being of its citizens.
